Some people believe
that the world will
get better and
better, and then the
Lord will return to
reward us all for
such a fine job. I
don't know what
these people are
sniffing, but they
obviously are not
the sharpest knives
in the drawer.

Our world is in a
mess of Herculean
proportions, and it
is just getting
worse by the day.
For example, crime
is at an all time
high; murder, rape,
theft, drugs and
that is just some of
the big stuff. Smut
is everywhere;
movies, books,
magazines,
television, street
corners, living
rooms, etcetera.
Homosexuality,
adultery,
fornication, child
molestation, and
other perverted acts
are epidemic. Our
prisons are running
over. Our schools
are training centers
in perversion. Our
homes are broken,
and a hell on earth
for many children,
abused wives, and
senior citizens.
Parents are murdered
by their own
children, and
parents murder their
own children.
Grandchildren murder
their own
grandparents. Drugs
are crippling this
nation, and raising
generations of
addicts, many times
from the wombs of
their mothers. Greed
is destroying our
economy, and it goes
from the top to the
bottom, and back up
again. Need I go on?
Our country is at
its lowest point …
or is it? Probably
not. Once the
monster is out of
the cage, it will
just continue to
feed upon itself and
grow more
intimidating.

A pig does not get
cleaner when
wallowing in the
sty. It just gets
more muddy, and the
smell gets stronger.
If you fall in
quicksand, you just
get dirtier and sink
deeper as you
struggle to get out.
My point?
Generations are
growing up who do
not see certain acts
as disgusting as
previous
generations. In
other words, the
more you hang around
garbage, the less it
stinks, but it is
still garbage.

What in the world
has happened to
cause this world to
leap frog out of
control? One thing
constantly comes to
mind. Instead of the
church taking the
Gospel of Jesus to
the world, the world
has come in and
taken over the
church. This would
never have happened
if Christians had
united for Christ.
The excuse is
always, “but I'm
just one person.” If
that is the only
excuse we have, then
we have none.

Let me ask you a few
questions. How long
is the television on
in your home? What
do you watch? What
do your children
watch? What do they
read? What do you
read? What movies do
they go to? How much
quality time does
your family spend
together? Who is on
the Internet, and
what are they
looking at? Have
electronic games and
cell phones taken
over your family?
What music are you
and your children
listening to? Have
extra curricular
activities at school
taken over your
home? How much time
is spent in Bible
study and prayer in
your home with all
family members
present? Are you and
all your family
worshipping together
at your local
church, if you can
find a good Bible
believing and
teaching one, every
time the doors are
open, or out doing
“your own thing”? Do
you support
businesses that you
know to be anti-God?
This is a sampling
of questions that we
all need to ask
ourselves.

Here's the kicker.
If each Christian
would just do what
God wants them to
do, we would be
united in Christ,
and would definitely
make a difference in
this fallen world.
For example, why do
you think some
people make so much
money from the trash
they shove in the
face of God? People
buy it! Guess who is
included in the
buyers listing?
Christians! If we
Christians would
stop supporting
those things that
come between our
Lord Jesus Christ
and our families, it
definitely would
make a difference.
It's all about the
“bottom line”.

When activities
interfere with our
quality family time
and our God, all we
have to do is say,
“We’re out. Get
someone else.” I
know of families who
run themselves
ragged driving their
children back and
forth from one event
to another, not
counting the money
they are spending
that many of them do
not have. “But we do
it for the
children.” If you
are in this mess,
you aren't giving
your children
anything. You are
taking away from
them. Give them
something that
really matters, at
home … yourself, and
a witness of your
relationship with
Almighty God that
they can build upon.

One of the most
heartbreaking things
to witness is
grieving parents who
just can not
understand why their
child has made such
a mess of their
life. Perhaps it
could have been
avoided, if these
parents had just put
God first, their
family second, and
everyone else third
(or maybe even
further down on the
list).

If every Christian
family would just
put God first,
regardless of the
outcome, maybe we
would not be seeing
so much corruption
today. Why does
Hollywood get more
and more brave in
the filth it puts on
the big screens?
Money. People buy
it. How many of
those who purchase
their tickets to
watch their filth
are Christians, or
children of
Christians? If
Christians would not
buy their tickets,
don't you think it
would get somebody's
attention? The world
is getting more
brave in what it
drags out of the
closet, because
Christians support
it, by purchasing
their products.

Washington D.C. is
crawling with
politicians who are
homosexuals, some
openly. You say,
“Now I don't support
that!” Who did you
vote for? The same
town is crawling
with politicians who
are eaten up with
greed, and have no
more morals than an
alley cat. You say,
“Now I don't live
like that!” Who did
you vote for? If you
voted for them, then
you support them,
and if you are a
Christian, you need
to ask God's
forgiveness and get
with the program.
Christians complain
about the stench
coming from
Washington D.C., but
guess who put them
there? I know that
all of their
supporters were not
non-Christians. Some
had to be
Christians.

One is not a lonely
number, when you are
one with Christ. You
are then in the
majority. The
world's majority may
have us, as fellow
Christians, out
numbered, but not
our God. His ONE
trumps their
majority every time.
We are on the
winning team. You
don't have to be on
the bench. (Actually
God has provided no
benches. So you are
just standing on the
sideline.) Everyone
has a position on
the team. Everyone
can play. Will you
have any crowns to
lay at the feet of
Jesus on awards
night? Will it be
gold, silver, and
precious stones, or
wood, hay, and
stubble?

If only we
Christians would
unite in Christ, how
many could be saved
from the lake of
fire and brimstone?
How many could be
pulled from the
clutches of the
Tribulation period
that may soon be
upon this world? How
many could soar
through the heavens
and be with our Lord
at the Rapture? It's
all up to us,
individually, to
unite.
